I also like what Box said... http://www.madjacksports.com/forum/showthread.php?565989-JInts-Pokes

This may be a money cashing opp tonite.

Good luck Rattler, and enjoy the game tonite!

Dallas -4.5

I really tried to find a reason to take the Giants. I just can't.
Dallas 5-1 SU and ATS last 6 vs Giants
Giants 1-6 this year SU and ATS as a dog
Giants 0-4 ATS as a dog of over 3 points
Giants 0-5 ATS and SU against teams with winning records this year
Dallas 3-0 ATS on the road this year

I hate having one team in 2 parlays or teasers. Got burned too many times. SF was too close for too long but you pulled it out. WTG!

 

[Ollie212121]

Let's goo baby, Another winning week for the Ratt Pack lol. Plus I ended up taking Seattle with the spread. :00hour

 

[gjn23]

Bears covered as predicted but really just 2 bad teams in a pillow fight. Team that made more mistakes lost didn't cover....hard to watch or be comfortable being on either side.

Forward looking:

Usually hate unloading against the bears and have seenthem rise up and win when the entire world is against them......but that was prior to Norv trestman arriving. ......if det shows up doesn't commit 4-5 turnovers they should roll the bears who look like they're ready to quit but faced 2 pigs the last 2 weeks.....bears have been hammered last 4-5 weeks in 1st quarter (41-0 last few games) and 1st half and vs a good team they won't rebound.....can't stand det and think their offense has been a disappointment but they get the 1st 2 scores of them game and they win by 20+

 

[Mr Rattler]

MNF

Jets+3

Week of no practice will be a factor against the bills. I was leaning Jets before the blizzard.
Jets have had ZERO turnovers last 2 weeks. They had 2 weeks to prepare for this game, the Bills have had barely 2 days

 

[Mr Rattler]

When the bell rings, I will have my Ravens Hat on, drinking my Natty Boh, but my money is going on the Saints tonight

-Ravens secondary is a shit hole. They did ok vs the Titans but Drew Brees will eat them for dinner
-New Orleans is a crazy ass town. Give them a Prime Time Monday night game and the Superdome will be insane
-I do not see the Saints losing 3 in a row at home
-Saints 5-0 ATS when Home Fav of 3 or less
-Saints 5-2 ATS after consecutive losses
-Ravens 3-13 in Domes (regular season)

Only thing keeping this from being my Ravens G.O.Y. is that the Ravens are 5-1 after a bye during the Harbaugh/Flacco era. I see a desperate Saints team at home in a prime time game. They have a prolific passer, something the Ravens always struggle with, but right now, without Jimmy Smith and a 50% La Darius Webb, the Ravens secondary is a shambles. I see big troubles for Baltimore tonight. Only way Ravens win this game is if they win the turnover battle by 3 or more.

Saints -3

[LonghornMM]

What kind of fans are you? Betting against your own team?

What kind of fans are you? Betting against your own team?

what kind of gambler places a wager based on emotion?

 

[Gags]

I've never wagered against my team to lose outright. Why watch it? No win situation.

you have to learn to separate your emotions from your wallet...

 

[Gags]

I just dont bet it. If my team wins and I lose money then I'm the doosh. Don't have to bet every game either Weezy. You might have a problem :0008

take a look at the schedules the ravens/bengals/steelers/chiefs/chargers and browns have left.......then tell me which situation you`d rather be in.....bengals and steelers haven`t played one another yet(somebody has to lose those games)...then we get the browns at home to close it out...

the chiefs` schedule,as well at the chargers` schedule are very tough....
with this game in the bank,i really like the way things are shaping up.....

per chris wesseling at nfl.com:

" Boasting offensive and defensive lines among the NFL's best, the Ravens have the luxury of the most balanced roster and the softest schedule (Chargers, at Dolphins, Jaguars, at Texans, Browns) of all the AFC North squads."

of course we both know it could all head south with one or two more significant injuries(or an unexpected home loss)...but it sure is a helluva lot of fun when things are clicking...the nfl is crazy...:toast:

what kind of gambler places a wager based on emotion?

This, right here. If you can't, on occaision, bet against your team when it is the smart play, and you're betting with your heart as a fan, you should stop betting on sports. Heart and emotion should have nothign to do with sports betting if you expect to win longterm.
